Well, I can say it's been a very busy, worrying and tiring past four days since I last wrote in this blog. I can't even remember explicitly what I've done in the past four days. Of course, top of our mind are Grandpa and Grandma Martin. Our feelings have been up and down over the past week - with Grandpa seeming to be not too bad while Terri-Ann was there and then everything seeming to fall apart with his health with his admittance into the hospital. Now, we are taking things day by day as to how the medication he is receiving will work.
Then, there was the worrying of Terri-Ann getting back home. We knew that she was glad she had gone out to see Grandpa and Grandma, but we also knew how much she needed to be getting back to James and the boys. Dad and I both worried as every flight went by and she couldn't get on. We kept praying for her to get a flight home. A little light showed when we thought about her getting to another airport and flying home from there. We were dashed when nothing seemed to work (the flights were just so full). Then, a very kind passenger service agent told her she could get to Victoria, sleep overnight and catch a flight the next day home. How grateful we are for those people who were looking after Terri-Ann and so happy that she was able to make it back to her family safely.
Of course, there is always school and my cold to affect me as well - Dad is over his, but now his back is bothering him - gee, it's tough getting old! :-) Anyway, things are going better at school - or maybe I'm just getting used to things and not stressing out so much - I don't know which it is, but I am glad that I am less stressed. I am looking forward to our two weeks of holidays in two weeks. Dad and I were going to go away for a few days, but we are going to stay close to home now so that we can keep in touch with Grandma Martin.
Dad has been busy with census stuff - just trying to spend as many hours as he can going through his collectors' books and making sure that everything has been done correctly. He has found some mistakes and has had to spend more time than he hoped reconciling everything. He is down to checking two more of which he has already done - they were his first two, but now that he has done the other five, he wants to recheck those first two.
The rest of our week has been as normal - me staying late at school - the missionaries over at our house on Wednesday night for dinner - Dad out to SES tonight - me researching stuff for next term - not too exciting, eh? :-) Oh, I just thought of one thing which we did - I applied at a local christian school for the coming school year (beginning in late January) - I got a phone call today which said it was a private number which we thought might have been from the school, but there was no message left, so we don't know who it was. We'll see if they call me back - you never know with teaching positions whether they have someone in mind or not.
